A-symmetrical Wakeskates?

Why do companies make A-symmetrical Wakeskates?

I know skateboards are made with a larger nose for nollie's which IMO isn't possible on a wakeskate.

I can only see an a-symmetrical board changing the CG and making it rotate awkwardly.

Any ideas?

wide noses aren't for nollies. its for flicking kickflips.

i dont not like asymmetrical wakeskates at all. its so annoying. it gets in my mind and i always have to have the board ride one way

wakemitch, Sorta makes sense for kickflips, I always assumed it was for nollie's

I've ridden quite a few a sym wakeskates and I dig em! Its really nice to have that nose to flick off of for flip tricks. Also for noseslides I would assume its pretty nice. Its cool to have two different shapes to choose from to pop with, With the wide nose in the back it rides a little higher in the water and fast. Then when you ride with the tail in the back it rides a little deeper allowing it to track better and pop higher. But you have to use a little more effort. Add a fin to the mix and nothing but good could happen! Cool

aassym is like jet bomber stylee with the big ol blunt nose and then the sleek tail...and when you get to talkin to the wind on a peice of wood....it gives a good heading when heading out over the water preparing to drob bo0mb diggities. Smash
